Body Vibrations Since Last 1 month

I am facing body vibration issues all over the rev band since last 1 month. I have changed the engine oil to Shell AX7 10W-40 as usual and cleaned the chain and lubed properly. But yet no success with vibration damping. I have tried tuning the carburetor to 1.5 /2/2.3 rounds but none of them worked.

I had ridden my bike very roughly one night and made it jump over the big potholes- can that lead to such issues ?
Anybody please help me with the solution. I want my GS150R to be smooth again without vibrations.

Another GS with 1 lakh on its odometer.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Calculating from 63kmph@4500rpm, 70kmph@5000rpm, 84kmph@6000rpm (Peak torque rpm) and 119kmph@8500rpm (Peak power rpm) you should be at 7142.86rpm@100kmph .

Btw japanese bikes are known to have ~4%+ reading on odo. I kind of validated this a few times with a running app. So when your odo shows 100kmph you would actually be @96kmph.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Guys..
@100kmph at 6th gear, what is the tacho reading?

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Get him the new hero achiever 2016. Best bang for the bucks. Best suited 150cc for his age ane lite weight too compared to gs and many cool features like AHO and i3s tech. Quite sober mature and fuss free bike. Tried and tested honda engine.
I too own gs150r and very happy with it. Its just my humble opinion.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Slingshot is another good product from Suzuki but,its a 125cc, My father is upgrading from a 125cc Glamour so, a 150 is my choice.
Let him enjoy bit more power and effortless experience in highway rides 😊

After GS150R,
my pick for comfy yet powerful 150cc is Avenger Street 150, what do you guys reckon?

Re: Suzuki GS150R

GS would be very heavy for your father. Gixxer is not a practical bike when you consider riding with a pillion.

Why don't you consider the Suzuki Sling shot. Its lightweight. Its great in comfort and comes with 5 gear with a gear indicator. 2 of my friends have them and has run 40k+ and 25k+ respectively. Only issue they have faced is rusting of parts.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Thanks kamlesh I will take my bike to saboo this time.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

True that, also the slightly rearset footpegs might not be his preference. Take your time and get the best one for him ! My lady pillions have never complained about the seat except for the height (true for most makes like Unicorn).

Spares and Service



Hi Octane,

For me SABOO SUZUKI quoted around 1250 INR each for new rear shock absorber of GS 150R-please check the price on spare parts properly and don't get any refurbished parts for your bike-its all about enjoying GS ride and your safety. I would recommend you to contact SABOO SUZUKI Indira Park / Raniganj / Secunderabad for best quality service and authentic original spares at nominal pricing.

Also for tyres- get the recommended ones from service center or MRF authorized dealers. Any modification / change in specs may lead to ruin the GS ride quality and mileage moreover it may not be as safe as tried and tested stock tyre by MRF.

TIC-TIC sound while in stand by mode after a short / long ride is normal for all 4 stroke engines.
But if you feel some unusual sound while riding your bike please reach our to Saboo SVC, they will inspect and let you know if it's really a problem or just a normal sound from GS engine.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

The last I have seen for sale was a 2012 model and he was asking Over 35000 I have not seen a 2013 up for sale yet in hyderabad, a 2009 gs150r in decent condition here in hyderabad is up for around 24000 but u can get One for 18-20k, 2013 will be upwards of around 35-40 in hyderabad. Gs pillion seat comfort rear shocks are awesome I. Love the bike for its planted feel, its On heavy side,

Re: Suzuki GS150R

He is turning 50 this year,saw gixxer doesn't suit him i think,my mom won't be happy on Gixxers pillion seat.
And gixxer is quite stiff, no where near as comfy as GS.


And how should I pay for a 2013 GS150R..?

Here in kerala..
GS150R is not much seen on olx.


I think the people who own it are really happy with the bike, not planning to sell .

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Hi ! Common spares (air filter, clutch cable, oil filter) and those frequently replaced (spark plugs, brake pads/shoes) are available over the counter at SVCs only. Something like brake pedal or the LHS footpeg assembly may not be available and usually the stores will ask you if they can order it for you. Some SVCs will not sell even oil filters or bluntly say "they don't sell spares" though their name board will say "Authorized sales, spares and service".

It is a bit hard to find the spares in local two-wheeler spare shops - they say "this aint a moving model" and thats true. Add to the insult, GS is now discontinued though exports continue, I think.

GS is a gem of a bike and enjoys (ed) the hype here in the Ownership Thread. It has its own share of problems like early leaking rear shock absorbers, being too heavy (just look at the thickness of metal they have put in the fork "T" and engine!), early giving away of front wheel bearings, hard&notchy gearbox compared to the Hondas, corrosion, etc (as reported by various xbhpians).

Used vehicles, if not maintained well by the person selling; might burn your pocket initially to restore it. But due to the low resale value, a used GS that has very less kms on the odometer is a steal.

IMHO, get a currently popular (selling in good numbers and good reputation in xBhp) model for your dad. Gixxer has surpassed GS in many many ways and it would be my pick from Suzuki. Gixxer has everything (except the 6th gear) that GS has plus it is more practical and easier to live with than GS. Suzuki has recently started exporting made-in-India Gixxer to Japan!

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Are spare parts readily available??
If i need a new headlight?
Will i get it?
